: I'm a new agent, licensed in August. I would have never considered a career in insurance, but corporate america got to me and I responded to an ad for Altig a Tourchmark company. I thought what they were offering would fulfil my need to do something meaningful. So I got a license, went through their 'training' which consisted of memorizing a 9 page script, found out the 'leads' were over 1 yr old, the people unscrupulous..and quit. Went to Aflac....really like their product line and the company, but with only a 1.38% penetration (or they say) in my area (TN), I find that we are tripping over each other. I don't mind 'no's', but constantly hearing 'we have Aflac' or 'I've seen about x-amount Aflac agents in the past year' is very discouraging. I've not seen any comission since I started down this road. I went through quite a few of the posts here, and am curious about the online opportunities and/or any other advise/encouragement the pros can give. I really don't want to go back to corporate america. :
